Mountainfilm

Mountainfilm is a documentary film festival based in Telluride, Colorado, that has celebrated indomitable spirit since 1979. Held each Memorial Day weekend, the festival uses film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. Its program brings together filmmakers, speakers, artists and community members, with documentaries exploring adventure, activism, social justice, the environment and human resilience. Mountainfilm is an Academy Award-qualifying festival for the Documentary Short Film category.

Beyond its annual Telluride gathering, Mountainfilm takes films and events to communities around the world through Mountainfilm on Tour, offering local audiences a way to experience the festival’s stories. Its online archive provides information about films and streaming access to selections from more than a decade of festivals. The organization also supports emerging storytellers through grants and its Emerging Filmmaker Fellowship, and invites filmmakers to submit work. Visitors can attend screenings and events, purchase festival passes, volunteer, host a tour show, or contribute as donors and sponsors.
